Good Evening to you all.

Thank you for your personal comments, your insights and for your participation within the e.Digital Community.

I wanted to take a few moments out of my day to quickly address your concerns and provide a final rebuttal on what has been happening on your investor controlled hub these psat 24 hours.

• Yesterday at 11:30 am DABOSS and LaywerLong where going at each other as usual. BOTH DABOSS and LaywerLong had 1 POST EACH REMOVED and were reprimanded. DABOSS accepted the warning, LawyerLong did not. Then LawyerLong requested his account be teriminated
• LawyerLong's account was teriminated at the users request a few moments after

We've been trying to avoid it because - as someone stated here quite correctly - many people can be shades of grey.

However our lenience quite clearly is starting to work against us. As such, my thinking is we will start coming down hard and terminating those who seek to be part of the problem and not part of the solution.

As you know, we don't run advertising on the site, so we don't have any incentive to maximize page views (sacrificing quality for quantity as other sites do). As such, terminating people who are never happy with either EDIG and/or AGORACOM is going to be the new paradigm as of tomorrow.

This is the last weekend I take away from my family. The last weekend of appeasing unhappy "longs". EDIG is doing its best to create shareholder value as it sees fit. If someone thinks they can run the company better, we welcome you to nominate yourself and/or a slate to the board of directors at the next AGM.

What some will no longer have is the ability to continually "criticize" the company under the auspices of "I'm long but not happy with how the company is being run." Whether you sell and move on is up to you - but what good can holding and critizing possibly bring to you and your peers?

I am doing this because many messages posted here contain great information that required plenty of thought and research. As such, it would be a shame to burry that knowledge in a sea of your uncontrolled emotions. That is for forums other than AGORACOM.

With that said I want to stress three things before I sign off:

1. I will not tolerate those who use these kinds of opportunities to accuse AGORACOM of deleting any negative posts. As many of you have noted, we keep constructive criticism but we delete the whining and negativity. This is an information forum, not an emotions forum.
2. A strict enforcement of our six rules of use doesn't mean that eloquent posts that add to the knowledge base of this investment community are the only ones to be deleted - a forum of "cheerleaders" is just as bad and I warn everyone, such posts will be under strict review
3. An accomplishment as the society we have built here does not come abound without ups and downs. . It does not come without difficult decisions that may displease some members some of the time – but has any great community, organization or nation of any kind been built any differently?

With that said I hope you can all use the weekend to relax and put your emotional differences behind you - and on Monday you can each bring your set of company facts back to the forefront of your discussions.

Once again, any posts in violation to our six rules of use past 6 pm today will be deleted on the spot and accounts will be terminated.

Regards,
Andreas Marouchos
